HOW TO PREVENT IT GYNECOMASTIA WHILE ON STEROID CYCLE

In order to prevent it use an AI like Exemestane or Anastrozole. Use one of these at low dosage during cycle.

WHAT TO DO IF A PERSON ALREADY HAVE GYNECOMASTIA?

A study published by PubMed where more than 40 patients with gyno were treated with long term usage of Tamoxifen Citrate, trade names: Nolvadex.

Their results were: “All were treated with tamoxifen 20 mg/day for 6 months. A follow up evaluation was performed at three and six months of treatment.”

Mastodynia disappeared in all patients at three months.

CONCLUSION:

Tamoxifen is safe and effective for the treatment of gynecomastia. Larger lesions have a lower response to treatment. Again each one is individual and each situation is different but at least we hope this brings some light into the subject.
